I run the Tekin ROC412 3100kv with an AX2, I love it.

I've run a Tekin 13.5 in one and it's a great combination at an affordable price. The esc you mention is unknown to me, I ran mine with a castle MMP. Whatever you do, brushless is a necessity as the high gear will eat up brushes in a brushed motor if the rig has any load on it.

I run a cheap Traxxas 21t motor on mine with no problem. You have to gear for high gear performance, which means much lower than the standard spur and pinion gearing of 4:1 . I'm using a 60/12 gear and I'm pretty pleased with it. I've use 60/9 and that's a bit low for high gear. You just have to accept low gear as it is. For me this works great. I have good high gears speed, motor doesn't get too warm, and it crawls like mad. Obviously you'll get more speed from a brushless, but the whole point of a 2 speed transmission is to be able to select gearing. Some guys don't feel the 2 speed is necessary, to each their own.

Who's 54t spur are you using? Did you swap out the whole slipper assembly?

Using the Robinson Racing Gen2 Slipper / spur gear. Just have to make sure the spacing is right so the gear doesnt rub the motor mount plate.

I would like to upgrade my slipper assembly. Robinson's would be nice.

Will the stock motor last long with this and RR slipper setup? Ordered the ax2 today and running an old v1 sidewinder esc. Want some speed when its needed but this is primarily a trail/crawler rig.

I can tell you that with the more powerful motors you'll want to upgrade the output shaft to the heavy duty version on the AX2. I suspect the stock wraith motor will do great in low gear, however high gear is liable to kill it quickly due to heat.

Way deeper. 2nd gear is way taller.

High is 1.78:1 and Low is 5.05:1 The stock tranny is like 3:1
